Some MAC purchases: Soar Lip Pencil & Desert Rose Blush

Thursday, 5 February 2015

A few weeks ago, I told you that I finally succumbed and bought MAC Brave lipstick & Whirl Lip Pencil. Whilst Whirl works very well with the lipstick, I thought that Soar might just be the perfect match, but it was out of stock at the time of ordering. When I received an in stock notification, I jumped on it immediately because I knew if I didn't, it would inevitably be out of stock again for a few months all the while building my desire for it and I would be kicking myself. I am so glad that I bought it - it is not as brown toned as Whirl and because of that, it is the exact perfect match for Brave. it almost has a mauve undertone, which is quite subtle. It looks great on the lips on it's own or paired with Brave. I am so glad to have this in my collection!

I also purchased a MAC blush in the shade Desert Rose, which looks quite red in the pan, but on the cheeks looks quite natural as long as you aren't too heavy handed with it, as it is very pigmented, so just one gentle swipe and you're done! It is a matte blush, but it is not flat at all so don't let that put you off!

Have you tried either of these products? What's your go to 'your lips, but better' lip colour?

Desert rose looks incredible! I don't have that shade in my collection, but I'll definitely have to swatch it next time I'm at a counter because it's so pretty!-Sisiwww.modernbeautygirl.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e_PEbSuJ18
